Description (last modified by )
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Create closed way with
building=damagedorbuilding=collapsedtag - Run validator
What is the expected result?
Validator complains that building key should be used to store building type - for example building constructed as a church should have building=church
What happens instead?
Presets do not contain property value - Value 'collapsed' for key 'building' not in presets. (1)
Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.
I am willing to implement a patch. I am unsure what, if anything, should be proposed as an alternative tagging.
This mistaggings are widely used, likely as result of low quality HOT mapping resulting from poor instructions guiding newbie mappers.

Replying to mkoniecz:
Possible replacements could be lifecycle prefixes or ruins=yes but this is controversial as well, and the building key should be kept or not depending on the specific case, so we better don't suggest an alternative. Just warn "...is not a building type."
The building key seems to be a dumping ground for any possible value anyway. More than 10k different values. building=bing -_-
